001520804 520__ $$aIn 1913, """"in a period of just two days (March 24th and March 25th) Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York experienced tornadoes and the equivalent of two to three months worth of rain. A late spring thaw left the ground saturated, or still mostly frozen. As a result, massive flooding began to occur and impacted fifteen states along the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. In Indiana, communities along the Wabash, White, and Ohio Rivers were most affected by the flooding, which also extended to hundreds of smaller tributaries throughout the state."""" Flood stage on the Ohio River in Evansville is 35 feet, and on March 29, 1911, the river reached 43 feet. (http://www.in.gov/dnr/historic/files/hp-1913_flood.pdf) Here the water is shown up to the street level at Riverside Dr. (probably called Water St. then) and Locust St. The two boats picture here are, left to right: the Norway, the Bowling Green.
